Running low tire pressures often leads to a rolled tire off its bead. This situation can be dangerous or in the very least a time consuming repair. Now, with the awesome energy of a Power Tank you can reseat a tire on a rim safely and quickly without removing the wheel from the vehicle. Just jack the wheel up and give it a blast of air. You can be back in business in five minutes. DO NOT USE ETHER.

  Single mounted tank on vehicle OK.
  For multiple day trips you may consider mounting both tanks or having one at base camp.
  If extra air is needed and you have a mounting location for the larger tank size.

*Intended for overload air bag inflation only.  Not for street rod air bag suspension springs.

**Because of high outlet pressure tool damage is possible and extended tool use is not recommended.  Most air tools are not rated to accept 150 p.s.i.  DO NOT USE with tools that are NOT rated for a maximum pressure of 150 p.s.i.

The “ERS” simply adds the Tire Plug Kit (#TPK-50) and the HD Tire Inflator (TIG-160) to the Power Tank or Power Shot systems.

Airing up tires can be a chore with other methods especially in cold, wet weather. With the Power Tank™, though, airing up tires is quick and easy usually taking less than four minutes to air up all four tires. And a PT-10 will inflate (26) 33"x12.50"x15" tires from 10 to 25 psi. (see charts below).

OK, now what size should I get?
*This chart is meant to be a general guide.  Your other-use requirements should be considered such as air tool use, vehicle size, etc. when choosing your system.

AIR UP/ AIR TOOL CHART

We all know the feeling when you hear the snap of metal or the swoosh of a blown side wall. Your heart drops because you know you're in for some work. With a Power Tank™ and a few air tools your trail fixes will be done almost as fast as they were "undone". Here we see Steve replacing a broken knuckle arm.

This "Air Up" Chart illustrates just how amazingly fast a Power Tank™ can inflate your tires and how many it can air up on one tank fill.  What size tire are you running?
